Bentley Reveals Bespoke Private White V.C. Bentayga

BY Sean Loo

The bespoke Bentayga is inspired by Private White, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in World War One for his gallantry.

The Bentley Mulliner division recently unveiled a creation that's a nod to heroism wrapped in opulence. Meet the Bentayga Private White V.C., a vehicle that whispers tales of bravery.

Private Jack White was a soldier in World War One, and was awarded the Victoria Cross for an act of gallantry. He swam across a river under a hail of bullets, a copper telephone line his lifeline, to save his comrades.

And it's this very copper, symbolic of the courage and resilience, that Bentley has chosen to honour.

It’s woven into the very essence of the Bentayga's cabin. From the copper detailing adorning the seat piping and embroidery to the bespoke elements throughout, it's a fitting homage to Private White's valour.

Bentley also infused the spirit of military precision and functionality into this masterpiece. The seats and door interiors boast clean, purposeful lines, mirroring the no-nonsense style of military gear, while the headrests proudly display the Victoria Cross emblem and Private White V.C. lettering.

In the back, plush cushions made from Lancashire-woven cashmere cloth echo the regimental blanket stripe of Jack White's unit.

Other subtle, yet poignant touches include organ stops finished in anodised copper and the silhouette of 'Cottenham House' – the very cradle of the Private White V.C. clothing line – etched on the passenger fascia.

And for a dash of British charm, there's the embroidered bulldog, the company's unofficial mascot, peeking out from the bespoke treadplates and door pockets.

All of this luxury rolls on 22-inch wheels, matched in colour to the car's Dark Sapphire paint, providing a serene backdrop for the copper accents and Private White V.C. badging to stand out in dignified contrast.

The lucky owner of this one-of-a-kind Bentayga also gets to wrap themselves in a capsule collection of bespoke attire from Private White V.C. - lucky chap.
